Leather Recolouring: Give Your Bag a New Life
2026-07-15

Colour is often the first thing to go on a well-loved bag. Corners fade, handles darken and stains appear.
Colour restoration vs. colour change
- Restoration brings the bag back to its original shade.
- Colour change gives a bag a completely new look, like black, navy or a classic tan.
Our recolouring process
- Deep clean and degrease the leather.
- Repair scratches and worn areas.
- Apply colour in thin, even layers with an airbrush.
- Seal with a protective finish matching the original sheen (matte, satin or gloss).
Which bags can be recoloured?
Most smooth and grained leathers. Suede, exotic leathers and coated canvas need a separate assessment.
FAQ
Will the colour rub off? Not with a professional finish and proper curing.
Can you recolour just the handles? Yes, spot recolouring is very common.
